The 2004 - 2005 School Year
Our fith year began with set goals we wanted to achieve during this year. After a
very sucessful showing at the EV Challenge Event, placing first and second overall,
we were ready to move forward with our program by replacing batteries in both
vehicles and converting a new car.
Along the way we ran in to obstacles that threatened and changed our plans. Our truck
motor armature malfunctioned the day after we brought it back from the state fair where
it had been displayed. We rebuilt the motor with new components and also replaced the
bearings in the car motor. We have also replaced all batteries in both vehicles and
both are in top shape for our final event in Raleigh April 1 and 2.
We now have two Pontiac Fiero's that we are going to begin working on. One car will
be a re-conversion and the other will be a full conversion that should be completed
by next spring.
